The Dallas Cowboys’ decision to sign tight end Jake Ferguson to a four-year, $52 million extension has sparked mixed reactions among fans. While many applauded the move to secure a key offensive player, others voiced concerns about the unresolved contract situation with star pass rusher Micah Parsons.
Ferguson, a 2022 fourth-round pick, has emerged as a reliable target for quarterback Dak Prescott. With 149 receptions, 1,429 yards, and seven touchdowns over three seasons, the former Wisconsin standout has proven his worth. The extension, which includes $30 million guaranteed and a $12 million signing bonus, highlights Dallas’ commitment to strengthening its offense.
However, the timing of Ferguson’s deal has drawn criticism from fans eager to see Parsons receive his payday. Entering the final year of his contract, Parsons is seeking a record-breaking extension, possibly reaching $200 million. Despite his standout performances and pivotal role on defense, negotiations have yet to yield a resolution.
Parsons’ ongoing hold-in at training camp, where he attends but does not participate in practice, underscores the urgency of addressing his contract. The Cowboys have expressed willingness to meet his demands, but progress remains slow. Fans have taken to social media, questioning why Dallas prioritized Ferguson’s deal before finalizing terms with their defensive cornerstone.

“When is Micah getting paid?” a fan asked. “Love it for Ferg….. Micah is more important right now. Sorry ferg,” another added.
A supporter mentioned, “I love they aren’t paying Micah. He can make his money doing podcasts instead lmao.”
“Before paying Parsons? That’s hilarious,” a follower remarked.
“They paying everyone but Micah,” a commenter posted.
“Yea Micah to the Eagles,” a sixth social media user pitched.
The team’s focus on offense is evident, with Ferguson projected to complement CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens in 2025. Yet, many argue that Parsons’ dominance on defense is just as critical to the Cowboys’ success. The disparity in contract timelines has only intensified scrutiny of the front office.
As the season opener against the Eagles approaches, the Cowboys must balance their financial priorities carefully. Securing Parsons’ extension may be the final piece needed to solidify both sides of the ball and satisfy an increasingly vocal fan base.
